After college he taught English and volunteered in South Korea, Thailand and Nepal for a couple years. It was during this time in Asia that he heard God’s call to pastoral ministry, and he began his studies at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN graduating in 2011. Pastor Erik’s first call was at Tokyo Lutheran Church in Japan. Nozomi and Ronin were both born in Tokyo. After returning to theUnited States, Pastor Erik served churches in Northern Minnesota before coming to Christus Lutheran in 2022.

Pastor Erik is passionate about serving others, creating caring community, and providing hospitality as a means for growing together and celebrating the gifts we share in and through the Body of Christ. Highlights of pastoral ministry for Pastor Erik are leading Bible Studies, connecting to the global church and participating in youth ministries. It is one of his greatest joys to gather people together in community, building caring relationships that encourage others to live into their gifts from Christ and use them to mold God’s world into a more peaceful, loving and faithful place.

In his downtime you might find Pastor Erik building wood projects in his garage, enjoying Wisconsin parks with his family, and cheering on the Packers on Sunday afternoons.
